“The cottage is warm, very clean and welcoming.”

The owners have put alot of thought into all the artistic touches and the beds are very comfortable. It is good for dogs as has a safe enclosed rear garden.

Helston is a brilliant location for all of south Cornwall's attractions.
We were sorry to leave and hopefully will return again.

“Perfect!”

The cottage is lovely - cosy, clean, and exremely well equipped, with a good sized secure garden. Close to lizard point, st Ives, flambard, and poldark mine all lovely days out. Also walking distance to porthleven well worth a visit. Will definitely return.

“Hazel cottage is in a perfect location to see all the sights of Cornwall.”

The cottage is very clean and tidy and will meet all your expectations. Wall garden, which is safe and secure for the dogs. With off road parking. The only very small issue I had was the outside lights not working on the garden. I would still recommend this property to friends and family. It had and was everything we needed.

“Perfect”

Stayed here with family from 29 June for 1 week. Great location, couple of minutes away from Sainsbury's and Flambards theme park and 5 minutes from shops, pubs and restaurants. Cottage itself was spotlessly clean, beautiful inside with lovely garden. Outdoor and indoor games provided,great selection of serving dishes, pots and pans etc and we made use of the bbq with the weather being so good. Really felt like home, we plan to back next year.

“The cottage was wonderful had every thing needed and more.”

The location was perfect for us to explore where we wanted. As there was 6 adults we turned into children again when playing swing ball. Would recommend this cottage. The weather was perfect.

“Lovely comfortable cottage on the edge of Helston: good facilities, close to local amenities & great location for exploring South-West Cornwall and The Lizard.”

No problems with the bin collection during our stay, any previous issues appear to have been fixed.

Will definitely recommend to others and even want to go back next year.

“You should be aware that there the road noise is almost unbearable between 6.”

30 am and 10 am especially. I am 62 years old, have travelled extensively but have honestly never experienced such loud road noise,. It was like living next to a motorway. As the weather was good, we wanted to have the windows open in the upstairs bedrooms but it was impossible to sleep after once the traffic started. The downstairs windows we only opened on the garden side, which kept the noise out when we were eating etc.
This was a shame as the cottage was clean and to a high standard.
The other problem (i think were were a little unlucky), was that the rubbish was stored in the garage. Apparently they were changing refuse collectors. I helped the house keeper whom came to put the rubbish out for collection. There was many weeks worth (20 + bags). It was out all day , not collected, it was raided by fox or some animal in the night and was all over the place/ I phoned the house keeper who arranged for it to be picked up and the owner also called to apologize. Before we went out, passers by kept trying to get our attention about the mess as they could see us through the kitchen window.
I understand that this was mainly bad luck. but still.....
Your service was extremely good and the lady who took the booking was very friendly and professional.
However i would sadly not recommend this cottage because of the road noise.

“Amazing cottage within easy reach of lots of interesting local attractions.”

Great to be walking distance from the town so we could pop out and get grocery’s or have a bite to eat without having to get in the car! The property was very clean, decorated stylishly and befitting this type of cottage and had everything we needed. The children especially enjoyed the garden and toys in the summer house. It was a comfortable and relaxing place to enjoy some time out especially after a sunny day at the beach. Highly recommend - in fact we looked to rebook for October but sadly it was already taken.

“The cottage was perfect for a break near the sea.”

The description was spot on and the cottage was so good for our 2 Labradors who could be safely settled in the kitchen at bed time. A stair gate also stopped them roaming upstairs and the garden was secure and large enough for them to run around safely. The beds were very comfy and there was plenty of hot water for showers for 4 adults and the heating in the evening made the cottage very cozy. There were lots of games to play and had we had children there were a good selection of toys too - very thoughtful.
It’s only 25 minutes to the north coast beaches and 15 minutes to local beaches.

“We had a lovely stay at Hazel cottage.”

It is tasteful decorated and furnished and its location is ideal for exploring the lizard & south Cornwall. A very warm cottage with generous central heating that you can easily adjust to your requirements and two wood burners. Sadly we had to leave early due to 'snow' and needing to get back home. Owners very helpful and pleasant and the good sized fully enclosed rear garden was fantastic for our two setters. Would fully recommend a stay at this lovely cottage.

“Hazel Cottage was the best place ive ever stayed - it has a lovely cottage feel with all the mod cons you want for a comfortable stay!”

The location was very convenient with a shop up the road and Helston town in easy walking distance whilst being an easy drive to lots of places such as the Lizard, Falmouth and Penzance. It was great to have lots of parking on the drive and a secure garden to let the dogs and kids out. The beds were so comfy we struggled getting out of them in the mornings and the house was well equipped with everything you need (and more) for a perfect stay. To top it off we were welcomed on arrival with cream teas and prosecco which was such a lovely touch. Thank you for letting us enjoy your cottage!

About the location

HELSTON

Porthleven 3 miles; Falmouth 12 miles; Penzance 14 miles.

Helston lies at the western gateway to the Lizard Peninsula, a large area of downland fringed by a beautiful and spectacular coastline. Helston is a pleasant busy market town famous for its Flora Day Festival and the many stories and legends about the "Furry Dance" are told in the fascinating Helston Folk Museum. Nearby is the Poldark Mine, one of the best underground experiences in the south west and which tells of the widespread mining heritage of this area. Nestled in a tranquil setting is the National Seal Sanctuary on the Helford River, where there is plenty of entertainment watching seals play and feed. If it is thrill rides that excites you, then Flambards theme park will keep you amused all day and also has excellent living history experiences. Further afield is the harbour town of Falmouth to the east and Land's End to the west. Helston is a wonderful holiday destination offering plenty of attractions for the whole family.
